Purpose: To promote dissemination of information about diseases involving the skull base, including the anatomy, physiology, pathology, and clinical management, in order to facilitate coordinated excellence in the delivery of care to patients, and to promote advancement of the scientific basis for treatment of patients with skull base disorders.

Content Areas: The content areas focus on the development, validation and dissemination of basic scientific information and clinical application of evidence-based approaches useful to specialists in the care of diseases of the skull base, and to provide broader distribution of this information among the various scientific disciplines caring for patients with skull base diseases. We encourage the application of these advances and encourage efforts to stimulate further interest in skull base diseases.
